just too many hotshots out there for a conservative driver to retain his seat.

Hard to believe Piquet was supposedly offered a seat in F1 when Heidfeld wasn't offered a full-time ride.
I feel pretty bad for Nick. He's never been a major contender but he's a damn good driver that is worth watching.
